In 1988 she
returned to Burma and led the National League for Democracy (NLD) in
opposition to the ruling military regime. She was placed under house arrest
in 1989, but the NLD still convincingly won popular elections in 1990. The
military junta refused to give up power and held Aung San Suu Kyi under house
arrest until 1995. While detained she was given the 1991 Nobel Prize for
peace. In 1999, Aung
San Suu Kyi’s husband, Michael Aris, died of cancer in London.She was held again from September 2000 until May 2002, during
which time the NLD was having secret negotiations with the junta in an effort
to break the political deadlock. She was again detained in May of 2003
and taken into "protective custody" as confrontations between the
NLD and government supporters increased. Despite diplomatic pressure and
international pleas for her release, the ruling military junta announced an
extension of her house arrest for an indefinite period in 2006, and again in
2009. She was finally released 13 November 2010. Currently, she is
now running for a seat in the parliament of Burma and is still working toward
restoring democracy and improving human rights in Myanmar. She also plans to
re-establish ties with the rest of the world. In 2015, she plans to run for
presidential.[2]

Aung San Suu Kyi, also
called Daw Aung San Suu Kyi (born June 19, 1945,
Rangoon, Burma [now Yangon,
Myanmar]) politician and opposition leader of Myanmar. She returned to Burma to nurse her dying
mother, leaving her husband and sons behind. There the mass slaughter of
protesters against the brutal and unresponsive rule of military strongman U Ne
Win led her to speak out against him and to begin
a nonviolent struggle for democracy and human
rights in that country.
In 1988, won more than 80 percent of the
parliamentary seats that were contested in 1990, but the results of that
election were ignored by the military government (in 2010 the military
government formally annulled the results of the 1990 election).
Suu Kyi
was freed from house arrest in July 1995, although restrictions were placed on
her ability to travel outside Yangon. The following year she attended the NLD
party congress, but the military government continued to harass both her and
her party. In 1998 she announced the formation of a representative committee
that she declared was the country’s legitimate ruling parliament. Michael Aris
died in London in early 1999. Prior to his death, the military junta denied him
a visa to visit Suu Kyi in Myanmar, and Suu Kyi, anticipating that she would
not be allowed to reenter the country if she left, remained in Myanmar.
The junta once again placed Suu Kyi under house arrest from
September 2000 to May 2002, ostensibly for having violated restrictions by
attempting to travel outside Yangon. Following clashes between the NLD and
pro-government demonstrators in 2003, the government returned her to house
arrest. Calls for her release continued throughout the international community
in the face of her sentence’s annual renewal, and in 2009 a United Nations body
declared her detention illegal under Myanmar’s own law. In 2008 the conditions
of her house arrest were somewhat loosened, allowing her to receive some
magazines as well as letters from her children, who were both living abroad.
In May
2009, shortly before her most recent sentence was to be completed, Suu Kyi was
arrested and charged with having breached the terms of her house arrest after
an intruder (a U.S. citizen) entered her house compound and spent two nights
there. In August she was convicted and sentenced to three years in prison,
though the sentence immediately was reduced to 18 months, and she was allowed
to serve it while remaining under house arrest. At the time of her conviction,
the belief was widespread both within and outside Myanmar that this latest
ruling was designed to prevent Suu Kyi from participating in multiparty
parliamentary elections (the first since 1990) scheduled for 2010.
Currently, she is now
running for a seat in the parliament of Burma and is still working toward
restoring democracy and improving human rights in Myanmar. She also plans to
re-establish ties with the rest of the world. In 2015, she plans to run for
presidential.[4]
B. Leadership of Aung San Suu Kyi
In 1991,
Suu Kyi was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace. She has also received the Rafto
prize (1990), the International Simón Bolívar Prize (1992) and the Jawaharlal Nehru Award (1993), among
other accolades.
In
December 2007, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 400–0 to award Suu Kyi
the Congressional Gold Medal, and in May 2008, U.S. President George W. Bush signed the vote into
law, making Suu Kyi the first person in American history to receive the prize
while imprisoned.[5]
C.

Inspirational Message: She has won numerous international awards,
including the Nobel Peace Prize, the Sakharov Prize from the European
Parliament and the United States Presidential Medal of Freedom. She has called

G.
The Meaning of Symbol National League for Democracy
The party flag has a peacock in it which is a prominent symbol of
Burma; the Dancing Peacock was numerously featured in Burmese monarchic flags
as well as other nationalist symbols in the country. The Fighting Peacock is
associated with decades-long democratic struggle against military dictatorship
in the country. The latter closely resembles a Green Peafowl, as it has a
tufted crest. The NLD party symbol is adopted from the Myanmar (Burmese)
Student Union flag.[7]
H.
Opinion About Aung San Suu Kyi
I think she is a great woman in the world and
have important rules especially to Burma. After I read some articles about her,
I really proud with her struggle and I motivate by her. And now I know if we
must attack Violent without freedom. Her struggle really motivate for me to
make some people become freedom, because I know we must make a freedom and
attack the Violent.
In the future if the role which said that a
widow can’t be a president is deleted and she was elected be a president, I
believe if Myanmar will be great by her. And Myanmar will have real freedom.
